Residents of every major Australian city have a list of complaints about their airport’s problems, with developments this week reinvigorating inter-state jostling to be the capital that hates its airport the most.

Just hours after Julia Gillard revealed the flexibility of Brisbane's airport was a major factor in its winning bid to host the 2014 G20 summit, local media revealed growing passenger anger over the inability to quickly drop-off passengers.

And federal infrastructure minister Anthony Albanese said Sydney missed out on the hosting gig, in part, because its airport is too small.

"There needs to be an acknowledgment right across the board that if Sydney is to maintain our position as a global city we do need a second airport, we do need to deal with these infrastructure issues," Mr Albanese said yesterday.
